School environment and points of interestIdeally located on The Strand, St Patrick's College offers one of the most stunning schooling environment there is to find in Townsville. The school grounds themselves maintain the beautiful architectural tradition of the region. Nestled within the lush and beautifully landscaped surroundings of the seafront, St Patrick's College also offers all the conveniences of a life in the city, as all the requirements of daily life can be managed in the nearby city centre, with a close proximity to shops, public transport, and various commercial outlets. When work is finished, and it is time to think about rest or leisure, the Strand area offers a multitude of possibilities accessible to all. Many Olympic stars have trained in the Tobruk pool, but you could also get involved with the sailing, boating, or team sports clubs. If you prefer a more tranquil entertainment, a stroll on the seafront can lead you to the rock-pool with a possible stop at the many cafes and eateries along the way. And if your mind needs nourishment, then you could always choose to pay a visit at the local Museum, the Aquarium or the Art Galleries in the nearby City. When all is done to do, there is still the option to broaden your horizons and relax on Magnetic Island, jewel of the Coral Sea, a mere 20m away. |
